OP-ED The Silence of DeSantis – Florida Governor Ducks Media Appearances, Records Statements, Seeking to Avoid Questions About Trump Raid

I'll say it again...... If DeSantis runs against Trump, Trump gets my vote. Sundance is right....he's not ready YET.

The Silence of DeSantis – Florida Governor Ducks Media Appearances, Records Statements, Seeking to Avoid Questions About Trump Raid

We are here because we discuss uncomfortable truths. We accept things as they are, and not as we would wish them to be.
Since the original innocuous tweet 48 hours ago, from a private account, which did not even use the name “Trump,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been absolutely silent about the illicit FBI raid on the home of Florida citizen and former President Donald J Trump. DeSantis is showing us all who he really is; but are you willing to accept it?




The raid on President Trump’s home is a moment for all to stand and take a position. On the day after the raid, much like the entire DC Decepticon establishment, Ron DeSantis hid in the bunker and kept quiet. No tweets. No appearances. Nothing that would create a situation where he would have to enter this ‘time of choosing.’ This is what politicians do. This is what Nikki Haley does. Avoiding controversy is not what war time leaders do.

On the second day after the raid, again with the politics of the issue as the dominating consideration, DeSantis releases a recording of a statement as Florida schools begin to open for the fall semester. Again, avoiding any situation where he would be asked to take a position on the raid. Please take note and pay attention. These are the moments that matter, the examples that show the true intents and motives of political leaders.

DeSantis is doing what he has been advised to do.

The silence of DeSantis is deafening.

DeSantis’ supporters, cheerleaders, GOPe promoters and sycophants will ignore it, but deep in their psyche they know what I am saying is true.

Ron DeSantis is a good governor for the state of Florida and has many attributes that make him important for a host of reasons, but this is not a war-time general. Ron DeSantis is a politician.

Accept things as they are, not as you would wish them to be. Because this is the same man that many people would select to face the greatest enemy to our republic. DeSantis is showing us right now that he does not possess the courage, desire in scale, or ability to fight the enemy we face in this battle.

DeSantis is a good finisher, a good maintainer, a good and solid ally who operates well when surrounded by the fortune of an aligned legislative body; but he is not yet the weapon that can stop the corrupt UniParty enemy within our republic.

There are moments that show the character of the politicians in the club apparatus. The pathetic and embarrassing Ted Cruz speech at the 2016 RNC nominating convention was one of those moments. The response, or lack thereof, to an illegitimate FBI raid on the personal home of the leader of the republican party is yet another.

Accept things as they are, you will be far less disappointed later on.

TRUMP may have asked him to be silent on this .......there are many reasons he may have maintained silence. His family may have been threatened......you also have to remember, the DEMON-RATS will do ANYTHING to advance their goals and are not above murder.....note Arkancide!!

 

[MinnesotaSmith]

Being cautious in a murky situation where immediate decisive action is not clearly needed is NOT cowardice, but prudence.
I still think DeSantis is more who we need now in the White House than Trump.

 

[Thinwater]

Almost as if since no one actually knows anything he may be waiting for actual info before opening his mouth.

The left all say he is going to prison, the right say nothing to see here. Someone is wrong

 

[Rabbit]

Silence is not called for now courage is. I along with everyone I know is seething over this.
Thank you Buick Electra for the post, especially the statement from Kari Lake. If I lived in Arizona I would vote for Lake and I wish we had someone like her running Georgia instead of the slimy worm we do have.

 

[rhughe13]

Its too soon to throw him under the bus. He came out immediately with a rebuke. But if no action follows, then by all means dump him. I also gave Trump time to drain the swamp which didn’t happen. I’ll give Desantis a smaller leash. America no longer has time for a fence sitter.

 

[Illini Warrior]

pretty damn obvious now that he's on the Biden Crime Family payroll - comes out of hiding when it's necessary >>> add him to that RINO list of traitors trying to play like a good guy .....

You are extremely short-sighted.

 

[EMICT]

You all do understand that Desantis is as big a threat to the communists as Trump. Expect more hit pieces on Desantis as they no more want him in the White House than they do Trump so they'll come up with all kinds of demeaning 'stories' as election time grows nearer.

You gave Trump four years to drain a swamp that had been building for at least ten times that figure.

And because he failed to do so in that comparative sliver of time, you've turned on him?

Congratulations. You're part of the problem.

I'm a 'wait a few years and see' on how DeSantis grows presidential but as far as 'hit pieces?' When they start going after DeSantis' kids, wife, trot out women saying he had extramarital affairs, and put him on Epstein's Island or his plane, THEN I'LL KNOW HE'S A DEEP STATE THREAT. In the interim, all the DS has been doing is bitching and moaning.

This is true. The raid on Mar-A-Largo was exceptional, no doubt. But perfectly legal. The Fed DID toe the letter of the law if not the intent.

Given a search warrant, they can search anyone for anything...

And - until more comes out it might be best to let this one play out?

Of course - part of the Biden Regime playbook is "never letting it play out." We may NEVER know what they REALLY were after, what the specific wording of the Search Warrant said, what they found or took away, or what the rationale for the presiding judge was in releasing information to the "intervenors." (a move which would be "counter" to Biden rules of play.)

All they have to do is claim "pending investigation" - which could be repeated ad nauseum up until the end of Biden's 2nd term of office - and possibly beyond.

[privatemom]

We've moved our line in the sand so many times that we're all out of sand now.

What are we going to do now? Spray paint lines on the road?

 

[meezy]

I will vote for any Republican who wins the primary.
I do like Trump a whole lot. But I think we'd be better off with DeSantis this time around.
I get the feeling a lot of Trump 2024 supporters are simply wanting vengeance.
But a Trump/DeSantis ticket would be awesome.
Or perhaps Trump/Tim Scott, or DeSantis/Scott, just to satisfy the diversity folks.

DeSantis did respond right away, using that "Banana Republic" term. If he hasn't done anything yet, maybe he's just trying to get his ducks in a row -- solidly -- before acting. That is what makes him a better choice than Trump, he's not a knee-jerk-response kinda guy. With Trump backing him, he'd be golden.

Remember when Banana Republic was just a trendy mall clothing store?
Don't correct me -- I know what it means. Just a little humor. But I do notice that in news stories they always capitalize it. It shouldn't be. They do it because of the clothing label.

 

[Sid Vicious]

I mean what do you all expect Ron to do? Lead a posse out against who? Actions speak louder than words.

 

[Countrymouse]

That's how I feel for now--reserving judgment.

He DID come out and speak of the "weaponization of the FBI" and how this is a wag-the-dog scenario since the raid came on the same day the Hunter Biden case was supposed to be released / addressed the same day, but this took all attention AWAY from Hunter Biden. Another version of Biden's threat to Ukraine if they didn't stop prosecuting his son? Probably. And he does speak of the 87,000 IRS SS soon to be hired.

Watchful waiting.

 

[mzkitty]

Wow.

 

[bbbuddy]

What am I missing here? He came out the same day as the raid and called the administration a regime and a banana republic.
What does the author think DeSantis is able to do? He claims DeSantis was silent, then includes the tweet from DeSantis decrying the raid. I guess he expects no one to actually read the tweet?

Because DeSantis didn't mount up and attack the feebs he is weak? Article is cr*p.

Remember that the reason the Dems keep winning is they UNITE totally behind their candidates--that's why the "Squad" showing dissension was quickly squelched by Pelosi. When threatened from outside, when it comes to an election-- they are a monolith.

Of course, our problem is discerning who is REALLY a "Republican" and who is a "RINO."

It is what it is. I gave him 4 years to make good on his promise. This is the first time I have voted for a Republican since GHWB lied. Now we have an armed Communist regime coming for us. Good luck waiting for your golden egg to hatch.

Absolutely true. DeSantis is a POLITICIAN. A CONTROLLABLE politician. If he’s told to back off from something, he will. That’s why he’s “safe” for the Deep State. Trump would flip them the bird and take action anyway. That’s why TRUMP is the only person left who stands 100% for the American people. DeSantis? No.

TRUMP may have asked him to be silent on this .......there are many reasons he may have maintained silence. His family may have been threatened......you also have to remember, the DEMON-RATS will do ANYTHING to advance their goals and are not above murder.....note Arkancide!!

Honestly, you don’t know squat.

With that statement, I’ve lost all respect for you politically.

Correct. And we’ll only find out “after the elections”.

You all do understand that Desantis is as big a threat to the communists as Trump. Expect more hit pieces on Desantis as they no more want him in the White House than they do Trump so they'll come up with all kinds of demeaning 'stories' as election time grows nearer.

No, he’s not. Saying he is shows that you’re still, after all this time, politically naïve.

Given a search warrant, they can search anyone for anything...

No, they can’t. For having so much horse sense, I’m surprised at your ignorance.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

I will vote for any Republican who wins the primary.

And there ladies and gentlemen, is how we’ve arrived at where we find ourselves today. And meezy no doubt thinks that position is a virtue. Incredible.

 

[Dennis Olson]

Evidently, someone is too dense mentally to remember that “Mitch the bitch” McConnell and Jack Ryan REPEATEDLY torpedoed Trump at every turn. But it’s not their fault, is it big boy? It’s all on Trump.

Idiot

 

[bassgirl]

It’s working according to their plan. It’s already dividing us

 

[Dobbin]

No, they can’t. For having so much horse sense, I’m surprised at your ignorance.

GIVEN A SEARCH WARRANT. Sorry. I don't talk and I only yell cyberly when I'm afraid someone didn't listen.

"Probable Cause" can be anything they want it to be.

Search Warrant is usually the hard part. Get the right Judge and the world opens up for you. Judge Reinhart was a deep state plant elevated by a deep state judge sponsor apparently for deep state purpose. (i.e. beginning with Epstein)

Also a potential "victim" should he flip. (i.e. "disposable" - he's not from the elite - yet.)

I wonder about his future after releasing Trump Warrant information to Trump supporting FOI queries.

Just remember, opinions are not ‘fact’ whether within the corrupt court system or here on this forum, even if they are presented as such.

 

[Buick Electra]

I'm not divided. I'm, standing exactly where I've stood since 2016. It's the weak-kneed and the 'shifters' who are dividing.

 

[Dennis Olson]

See Dobbin, here’s the issue: the search warrant (from what’s been leaked about it) specified ONLY the specific archive documents. It also specified where those docs were located. All nice and legal. Until the doors were breached. Reports indicate that every room of the house was searched, and every single document taken, INCLUDING Trump’s business and personal docs. During that outrageous excess, his lawyers WERE NOT PERMITTED IN TO OVERSEE THE EXECUTION OF THE WARRANT.

Have you just not been following along?

 

[Dennis Olson]

I'm not divided. I, standing exactly where I've stood since 2016. It's the weak-kneed and the 'shifters' who are dividing.

And you can sure see them on this forum. They’re the last people I’d expect to spit on Trump and conservatism. I’m sure they’re already sending money to the Lincoln Project.

Like I've said before, the president carries the purse strings, so he bears all the responsibility of that one. No it's not just Trumps fault. They are all part of the criminal element.

 

[John Green]

I can’t believe we have come to Trump or DeSantis so quickly. This is what the libs want. Divide and conquer.

I hope Trump runs with DeSantis as his running mate.

Keeps DeSantis on a leash ("if" he is a closet traitor like Pence) and/or positions us for 8 years of Republican representation AFTER Trump if DeSantis proves to be true.

Do you not understand that the entire govt apparatus was against him
Do you not understand that speaker of the house Ryan was against him
Do you not understand the senate under McConnell was against him
We were lucky he got anything through

so a primer. The President is not omnipotent

Your point is correct but Jack Ryan is a fictional character.

Paul Ryan was the RINO bastard speaker of the house...

Texas Gov Abbot did too, but they're not dragging him through the fire.

 

[Dozdoats]

Merely furthering the narrative ....

 

[Griz3752]

Given that MSM is hysterically anti-Trump and only slightly less so towards DeSantis I doubt I'd willingly engage the press either.

Even less if I were DeSantis and considering a 2024 run for GOP POTUS Nomination. . . . .
